One Down...

Eh? It was on the BBC's front page every day until the suspect was detained. Meanwhile a local murder didn't even reach the UK page.

What more is there to know about the murder?

Likely variability in reporting sources. I don't tend to watch BBC news as I find it rather bland, I tend to use sources that provide more background and analysis and that aspect has been focusing more on the healthcare aspects than the murder itself and/maybe as you say, not a lot more to say about the on the ground events.

Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to Federal charges of murder but this should now negate any State charges.

No plea deal was agreed.

Wow, thread revival!
I thought @theclaud had returned.

Just when we thought it was safe to get back in the water.

It is a fascinating case, and rare in terms of the profile of both the victim and perpetrator. That makes it more newsworthy. Therein lies the true crime appeal.

Also interesting to me is how hard people fight for a totally shït life, having previously been self appointed moral warriors willing to go to any lengths. You never hear about people fuessing up to get the death penalty and get it over with, do you?
